You could try the shampoo? Just be careful not to get it in babies eyes.

olive oil.

my dd 4 has terrible cradle cap still and is prescribed the anti fungal shampoo but only thing that actaully lifts the dead skin is olive oil.

Yes, olive oil has been good for all 3 of mine when they had it. It doesn't get rid of it, just improves the appearance until they grow out of it.

I've found baby balms based on olive oil easier to apply as they are semi-soft rather than runny. SIL gave me this one. Very nice lip balm too.

Vaseline, rub it in then rub firmly with a towel.
